You need IT Degree as much as you need high school. It doesn't matter you will never use 95% of things you learn but like other aspects of the life. You won't need history in your daily work but shouldn't you know about history?
Learned Fortran on an old TI-99; forgot Fortran; learned to draw, paint, sculpt, and play violin; learned how to merge code and art, turned it into my UX/Front-end dev Frankenthing.
The question was whether or not a degree is needed, not whether or not you need to understand the subject. Understanding the subject matter is a given; whether or not it is necessary to have a piece of paper from a college or university verifying that you made passing grades in that subject and paid your tuition is the question.
In other words, do you need to pay for a full formal education in IT to get a job or will an informal education (self-taught, mentorships, code camps, etc.) suffice?
